The protagonist of this role-playing game, Geralt of Rivia known as a Witcher who was a monster hunter, is controlled by the players. The game revolves around the witcher who wants to rescue his adopted daughter. The player’s battle against many dangerous weapons and magic tricks to complete main story quests and monster contracts. The players need to complete treasure hunts for experience points whereas the monster hunter’s abilities can be developed using gold. Another interesting fact about the game is its ending which is ever changing, and different players may experience different endings as the game ends in multiple ways depending upon the choices made by the protagonist during certain points in the game. The game was also praised for its narrative, and two expansion packs were also produced. The two expansion packs were Hearts of Stone and Blood and wine and were released in 2016 along with certain new features and updates.

Grzegorz Mocarski, the designer of the game made several weapons for the Witcher which makes him stronger. Geralt in the game can possess weapons like crossbow, swords and bombs. Geralt can block attacks from the opposition, but his sword needs to be repaired on a regular basis. The fast attacks are weak whereas the slow attacks make a huge impact on the life of the villain. Geralt also knows few magic tricks; these skills allow the Witcher to rip the enemies apart. The magic tricks cannot be repeated infinite times as they consume a lot of stamina. Geralt’s power can be boosted using mutagens, and the armour protects the hunter from the enemy attacks to some extent. Meditation or foods or potions can be used to restore the protagonist’s health. Players can also take help of Ciri at certain points in the game, Ciri can teleport.

Yennefer is Geralt’s long lost lover, and she informs the witcher that the Emperor wants him to visit Vizima. Geralt then receives a task from the emperor who wants Geralt to find Ciri. Someone tells Geralt to look for Ciri in Novigrad. When he reaches Novigrad, he assists Triss in liberating fugitives. His voyage and search continue and he then reaches Skellige where he reunites with Jennifer. Jennifer was busy finding clues regarding the mysterious explosion that was linked to Ciri.
